The School of Arts and Design of Caldas da Rainha (ESAD.CR) is strategically located in a region characterized by the presence of clay, ceramist studios and industrial mass production of Ceramics. This nature defines today the role of the city and the school in particular, as an incubator for ideas and creation in disciplines of design and ceramic work.
ESAD.CR will conduct a set of workshops here presented as an opportunity to explore ancestral techniques and languages, as well as the plasticity and the symbolic and cultural values of the material, aiming to physically expose the participants to some of the most bizarre techniques which allowed for the persistence of an active contemporary practice in Portugal.
WORKSHOP
Analogies
Bakery and Ceramic
Cooking and ceramics are disciplines that share a series of analogies, from tools to shaping processes. This workshop will allow you to work with ceramics and food in a similar way, creating objects that complement these two materials. At the end of this experience, we will have the opportunity to share and “taste” our creations.
